Germany Reports Over 925K In Country Currently Infected With Covid

About 68.8 percent of Germany’s residents are fully vaccinated, though the government is looking for a minimum of 75 percent. While Germany’s COVID-19 vaccination rates are largely consistent with the European Union’s average—the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported about 66 percent of the bloc’s population is currently fully vaccinated—certain sections of the population have remained resistant to inoculation. Spahn called on people who have yet to be vaccinated to get the shot, noting that the share of infections is much higher for the unvaccinated than for the total population, the AP reported....

Low served as assistant to Jurgen Klinsmann when Die Mannschaft plotted a path to the semifinals on home soil in 2006, before beginning his own acclaimed 15-year tenure as head coach. The highlight of that era came as Germany lifted a fourth world title at Brazil 2014 and, after a disappointing European Championship campaign marked Low’s farewell last year, his former assistant Hansi Flick will lead an exciting new generation keen to make amends in Qatar....

Getting Back At Dictators

In what some South Koreans called the ““Trial of the Century,’’ the court also convicted nine leading businessmen – including the chairmen of Samsung and Daewoo – of paying political bribes, helping to pour hundreds of millions of dollars into presidential slush funds. And it convicted 21 former presidential aides and military officers on charges of corruption or assisting the coup. Most Koreans thought the punishment of the former presidents will never be fully carried out....

Getting To Know You All Over Again

All the songs in this show are pretty irresistible, including “A Puzzlement,” a kind of Siamese rap soliloquy in which we hear the king torn between his inheritance of Eastern despotism and the Western humanism he’s drawn to. The shadow of Yul Brynner’s legendary performance hangs over this and everything that Phillips does. But Phillips, known more for his movies ( “La Bamba”), gives a brave and attractive performance. Murphy (1994 Tony winner for “Passion”) is an outstanding singing actress, but her Anna hasn’t yet reached the mysterious stage of emotional ignition that makes a great performance....

Ghislaine Maxwell Will Not Yet Get A New Trial But May After Juror Hearing

Scotty David, referred to as Juror 50 in Judge Alison Nathan’s new ruling, said in interviews with multiple news outlets following the trial that he was a victim of sexual abuse, and reportedly told the other jurors that during deliberations, as well. “To be clear, the potential impropriety is not that someone with a history of sexual abuse may have served on the jury,” Nathan wrote. “Rather, it is the potential failure to respond truthfully to questions during the jury selection process that asked for that material information so that any potential bias could be explored....

Ghosn S Road To Nissan

Dona Gimenez and the other Baby Ghosns went on to help execute one of the greatest turnarounds in automotive history–and show how smart Renault chairman Louis Schweitzer was to pluck the Brazil-born Ghosn from Michelin in 1996, shortly before the automaker posted a billion-dollar loss for the year. Ghosn put an immediate squeeze on suppliers, slashing the cost of each car by some $500. He sent furious Belgians into the streets when he shut a factory in the town of Vilvoorde....

As the call began, McConnell–second in command and a Lott ally–delivered a history lesson. “Leaders who are ousted tend to leave altogether,” he said in his voice-of-doom baritone. “That is what Newt Gingrich did. That is what Jim Wright did. They don’t stick around.” If Lott left, he noted, the Democratic governor of Lott’s home state of Mississippi would name one of his own as a replacement. Republicans relishing the return of perks, power and committee chairmanships could forget it....
